Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 5234 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5234 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

5234 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 5234 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8833.99679206 ft/s

The final result is:

5234 kt → 8833.99679206 ft/s

We conclude that 5234 knots is equivalent to 8833.99679206 feet per second:

5234 knots = 8833.99679206 feet per second
